Looking for a real Klaxon

Hylander_1314 · 04-04-08, 10:01 PM

This is about as off topic as one can get. I've searched locally, at Army Navy Surplus stores, and boating stores, and have searched on-line for the last 2 weeks. I'm looking for a real Klaxon Horn like the old subs, and uboats used. It's for my boat, and since I'm naming it "Marjorie Rose" after my late Siaster, and Mom, I think it was only fitting to have something in memory of Dad since he was a submariner on the first generation nuke subs.

Dad had one on his boat, which was real cool when I was a youngster.

I've been able to hunt down the car types, but they sound funny compared to the nautical version. Nothing worse than your sounding like a an old Buick, or Model-A Ford.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I got a ton of hits Googling "klaxon horn for sale". None of them were what you were looking for?

Edit: how about this one?

That's it!

Thanks August! It's kinda hard to to sift through all the hits. As I'm working on the boat. She was used well for 40 years, and needed some real TLC, so it's a little harder to sift through the sites when it's late and one is tired.

Thanks again dude!
